Mine froze & I want to be able to lock my door. I dont have the acuator nor do I care to put a new one in right now. So can I rip the old one out or disconnect it so I can manually lock my door with a key?
Thx guys
Stuck with door lock actuators that don't work and don't want to pay the $50+ for a new one? Tried the junkyard ones and found that they last six months and freeze up?
A new actuator for less than $4. Fix one side for $17, do both sides for only $23. I don't sell parts, I don’t make any money off of the upgrade, I just tell you how to do it cheaply and easily.
Yes, just take the actuator out of the door and use the locks manually. After replacing 3 actuators in 3 years I decided manual locks were the way to go.
